Sneaker Pimps - Small Town Witch
See black, see bloom | Died on an impulse over you | Caught like a corpse crawling round a dream and loving you | And she hangs on youth | Small town witch come to mess me up | Small town witch come to mess me up | Small town witch come to mess me up again
Click to viewIron & Wine - Rabbit Will Run
We've all heard the rooster and all been denied | And we've seen through the haze and the spit in our eyes | And I still have a prayer | A well-weathered word to the wise | Last I saw mother, she smelled like a rose | When they caught me, the captain, he opened my nose | 'Cause a rabbit will run | And the wind takes a bird where it blows | We've all traded lovers and woke up alone | And we clapped for the king though our fingers were cold | And I still have a prayer | 'Cause I love what I cannot control | Last I saw mother, she acted surprised | When they caught me, the captain, he cried like a child | 'Cause a rabbit will run | Good dogs together go wild
Florence + The Machine - Ye Olde Hope (Live Rehearsal)
Well they tore you down, and they tore out your tongue, | And they made you kneel for all the things that you done | But you wouldn't cry, and you wouldn't beg, | You just grinned, and tore out your teeth instead | And when they found you hanging in the wood | You said, "At least, now, I don't have to be kind or good, | I'll be cruel, and I'll be obscene, | Tear out my tongue, cos I've been redeemed"
Florence + The Machine - Seven Devils
Holy water cannot help you now | A thousand armies couldn't keep me out | I don't want your money | I don't want your crown | See I've come to burn | Your kingdom down | Holy water cannot help you now | See I've come to burn your kingdom down | And no rivers and no lakes can put the fire out | I'm gonna raise the stakes, I'm gonna smoke you out | Seven devils all around me | Seven devils in my house | See they were there when I woke up this morning | I'll be dead before the day is done
Fiona Apple - Fast As You Can
I may be soft in your palm but I'll soon grow | Hungry for a fight, and I will not let you win | My pretty mouth will frame the phrases that will | Disprove your faith in man | So if you catch me trying to find my way into your | Heart from under your skin | Fast as you can, baby scratch me out, free yourself
Miranda Lambert - Somewhere Trouble Don't Go
Devil had a daughter | Took him to deep water | Tried to kill him with a kiss | He said “Hey now honey | What about the money” | I said “I ain’t got time for this” | Take me, take me somewhere trouble don’t go | Make me, make me someone trouble don’t know
Terra Naomi - Flesh For Bones (Acoustic)
And I'm burning all my bridges | with these matches I light | To illuminate my path to what is right | And even if it's true what they say | that you can't go back home | once you've cast it away | I would still have left tonight | You know baby I would be with you if I could | To trade my flesh for your bones | I would, I would, I would, I would, I would…
TV On The Radio - Dirtywhirl
Defender, destroyer | I found you | Dirty little whirlwind | Tangled up in the flesh of a girl | Oh you could curl up beside me | The spark in your eyes belies the apocalypse inside you | Twisting the pits from the particle | Skull can't save face | So shake the shame from it | Burn me up inside you
Fiona Apple - Criminal
Don't you tell me to deny it | I've done wrong and I want to suffer for my sins | I've come to you 'cause I need guidance to be true | And I just don't know where I can begin | What I need is a good defense | 'Cause I'm feeling like a criminal | And I need to be redeemed | To the one I've sinned against | Because he's all I ever knew of love | Heaven help me for the way I am | Save me from these evil deeds before I get them done | I know tomorrow brings the consequence at hand | But I keep living this day like the next will never come | Oh help me but don't tell me to deny it | I've got to cleanse myself of all these lies 'till I'm good enough for him | I've got a lot to lose and I'm bettin' high so I'm begging you | Before it ends just tell me where to begin
Florence + The Machine - Shake It Out (Acoustic)
And it's hard to dance with the devil on your back | We're given half the chance, would I take any of it back | It's a final match but it's left me so undone | It's always darkest before the dawn | And I'm damned if I do and I'm damned if I don't | So here's to drinks in the dark, at the end of my road | And I'm running to suffer and I'm running to hope | It's a shot in the dark and right at my throat | 'Cause looking for heaven, for the devil in me | Looking for heaven, for the devil in me | But why the hell did I let it happen to me, yeah
